\nLike hummingbirds, themselves deciduous
\nleaves which perish if trapped in airlessness,
\nthey flit from one lush shrub to another,
\nsucking at salvia and drooping fushia,
\ndrones darting off to persist, if at all,
\nin retinal afterglow, green\u00a0for red,
\nabsence for the flutter of\u00a0a wing,
\na heartbeat for a spasm.<\/p>\n
